Review

'“Professor Gundry’s 4th edition continues to be the preferred textbook for an undergraduate New Testament survey course. Gundry’s ‘Further Discussion’ recommendations at the end of each chapter have facilitated many lively discussions in the classroom. A wonderful feature of this textbook is the ‘How Much Did You Learn?’ questions, which I require students to answer in a notebook, along with keeping key definitions from the textbook. With the new images and maps, this new edition will continue to guide undergraduate students through the strange world of first century Palestine for many generations to come. I recommend its use wholeheartedly.” Spring Arbor University -- Brian Lugioyo|“I have found the 4th edition of Robert Gundry’s A Survey of the New Testament to be an excellent text and resource for classroom use in my New Testament courses. Several features contribute to its usefulness. Let me highlight two. First, the pictures, maps, charts and graphs combine to enhance the students learning. These visual aids bring the New Testament to life. Second, the chapters themselves are well written. This allows the student to gain a firm grasp of the content of the New Testament. I am grateful to have at my disposal a resource like Gundry’s 4th edition.'' Boyce College -- Shawn Buice
